Smaug certainly looked fast asleep, when Bilbo peeped once more from the entrance. He was just about to step out on to the floor when he caught a sudden thin and piercing ray of red from under the drooping lid of Smaug's left eye. He was only pretending to sleep! He was watching the tunnel entrance… Whisked away from his comfortable, unambitious life in his hobbit-hole in Bag End by Gandalf the wizard and a company of dwarves, Bilbo Baggins finds himself caught up in a plot to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon. Although quite reluctant to take part in this quest, Bilbo surprises even himself by his resourcefulness and his skill as a burglar! Written for J.R.R. Tolkien's own children, The Hobbit met with instant critical acclaim when published in 1937. This special edition contains 65 illustrations, 26 of them in full colour, specially commissioned from artist Alan Lee to commemorate the sixtieth anniversary of its publication. A finely written saga of dwarves and elves, fearsome goblins and trolls … an exciting epic of travel and magical adventure, all working up to a devastating climax' OBSERVER One of the most influential books of our generation' THE TIMES |
